Modified moose estimator for tracking highly manoeuvring targets

Abstract

The Moose's adaptive state estimator has proved successful in tracking a manoeuvring submarine [1]. However, its application to track highly manoeuvring aircraft will encounter problems in complexity and tracking accuracy [2, 3]. The authors present a new algorithm that extends the Moose estimator to solve its problems. The new algorithm is verified through Monte-Carlo simulation and shows a better performance than the original Moose algorithm.
